"Phil..." Danny said, leaning forward on his elbows, his hands creating an inverse V under his chin. "...that's a whole lot of shit that's happened to you."
There was a pause as everyone absorbed the story Phil had just told them. He'd left out no detail, however unpleasant.
Danny laughed.
"What?" Phil asked, startled by the sound.
"Nothing... it's just that these silent pauses happen so often in my posts, they've stopped being dramatic and started being cliche..." Danny said. Phil just looked at him, confused.
"Nevermind..." Danny said, shutting up. He ran his gaze across the rest of the table, making eye contact with everyone. He lingered slightly longer on Brianna, and made a small wave.
His attention snapped back to Phil.
"You know, mate... if there's one thing this team is about, if there's one thing we represent here," Danny began. "It's second chances. Not a lot of us here can say we haven't done some stupid shit in the past. But look where we are now. Superheroes!"
Danny laughed again, then regained his seriousness.
"...how does everyone else feel?" He asked, with all sincerity.
